A FALSE REPORT THAT HIS FATE
WAS SEALED.

The Announcement Brings Out
Clammy Moisture on His Face-The
Criminal Court Building and County
Jail Quickly Surrounded by Guar
dams of the Law.
OTTAWA, ILL, Sept. 13.-The Supreme
Court met at o'clock this morning, with
Judge Magruder absent The call of the
docket was proceeded with, and was con
cluded to-day. Nothing developed about
the Anarchists.
EXCITEMENT AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Sept. IS. rumor that the
decision of the lower courts in the Anar-
chist cases had been affirmed, was spread
over the city by police wires this morning,
and caused great excitement for haf an
hour. The Criminal Court building and the
alleys ami courts about tue county Jail We're
suddenly overrun by special squads
of police officers detectives ana
Deputy Sheriifs that have
been held in readiness When the intelli-
gence reached Capt Setback he was in the
Chicago avenue Police Court. He proceeded
mt once to the Criminal Court building to
superintend the disposition of the extra
guard that was TO be at once thrown around
the Jail. Jailer Folse communicated the re-
pOrb TO lne cOnuellneu men, WHO were
taking their exercise.
SPIES VISIBLY AFFECTED.
Moisture broke out on the face of Spies,
who was talking to Miss Van Zandt. /. He
wiped his face with n pocket-handkerchief,
and went on conversing with Miss Van
Zandt. The others were not noticeably
moved, though the report bore, for mo-
ment, the color of authority. Capt Setback
and the assistant States Attorney CON
suited about the measures to be
taken, and then the contradiction
of the rumor came. In five minutes the
deputies, policemen and detectives had dis
appeared. If the decision Of the lower
court is affirmed the law obliges the court to
make a statement of the fact from the
bench If it is reversed all that is required
of them is that they file the decision with
the clerk whenever it is convenient for
them to do so, but should the decision get
into the clerks hands without an announce
ment 1T will then be known by inference
that the decision of the court below has

A FIzzLE ON THE TRIAL.
The Wind Left the Yachts in the Lurct
The Wonderful Thistle

New YORK, Sept 13.-This morning the
yachts Mayflower and Volunteer started in
the first of the trial races that are to decide
which craft will defend the Americas cup
The Thistle started to follow them over
their course.
The wind died out entirely by 3 o'clock,
and it became apparent that the yachts
could not sail over the course in the pre-
scribed time, so the race was declared off
for the day. The wind was light at the
start, and grew weaker as the day
wore on. The Volunteer rounded
the outer buoy OF the course
eight minutes ahead of the Mayflower II
was then raining hard. The wind was east
ward, blowing one mile per hour The time
was In. 26m. 34sec. The yachts then drift
ed with the tide. The interest taken in the
race was almost phenomenal and it
would appear that every sailing craft
in and about New York harbor
had been hired, stolen or borrowed
for the occasion. The Thistle followed
the racers down the bay, and although
dragging the usual small boat she seemed to
have great difficulty in keeping behind the
racers. She pursued a zigzag course, and
showed beyond all doubt that in light winds
she is a wonderful craft, for even with her
split head sails, instead of the big balloon
jibs of the sloops, she continued to forge
ohaad

ENGLAND'S LABOR PARTY.
The Executive Committee Issues an
Address.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Executive Com
mittee of the new National Labor party,
initiated at the recent Trades Congress, has
issued an address, which is signed by
twenty-one representatives of populous
centres of England, Ireland, Wales and
Scotland The address announces that
the party will have a separate or
ganization from the trades unions,
but will cooperate with them
as far as possible. The programme is as fol-
lows: Adult suffrage, one man to have one
vote: payment Of members Of Parliament
by the State; free education; land reform;
poor law reform maintenance of free trade,
but abolition of State paid bounties; home
rule and local government reform and re
ligious equality. The address is limited to
bare mention of these heads, but,
read in the light of the declarations
made by the members of the executive
committee at the congress, land reform
includes heavy taxation, leading ultimately
to naturalization of land, free trade means
reciprocity rather than the free trade of
CObdenism ana religious equality implies
the abolition Of the State church. The com
mittee asks that fund of "a 900 be raised
for the first years campaign, besides local
funds for local labor candidates.

Larremore, Of the Court of Common Pleas,
this morning granted the motion of exCon-
gresham Adams, counsel for Henry S.
Ives 81 Co., TO strike out the testimony
taken in response to the questions of Referee
Noah Davis. The record was sent back to
the Referee, TO be amended i'll accordance
with this ruling. In giving his decision
Justice Larremore said that the application
for reference was improperly granted The
sole purpose expressed in the application
for reference was to enable the assignee to
prepare his schedule. BY section three the
assignor was allowed twenty days in which
to file his schedule and inventory of the as
signed estate. In case of neglect on the
part of the assignor, the assignee was al
lowed ten days further time

A delinquent debtor could be taken before
judge at any time by the assignee II a
debtor neglects to file schedule the assignee
would be entitled TO an order. There was
nothing in the papers in the case from which
an intention of the assignors to omit filing a
schedule could be inferred. The application
should have been heard before judge, and
not before a referee. The section under
which the reference was held was de-
signed solely for the purpose of taking
depositions The application was made only
eight days after the assignment. The
referee exceeded his power in examining
witnesses and expressing his opinion during
the examination Ives counsel has served
